Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- European Union
- Russian Federation
How they compare
European Union currently reports 2.06 Mt CO2e against 0.6907 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 1.37 Mt CO2e.
That makes European Union's figure about 3.0 times Russian Federation's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, European Union has been ahead every year.
European Union ranks 17th and Russian Federation ranks 4th of 47 groups.
European Union has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
